NEW YORK Nitro, an up-and-coming creative independent, is close to acquiring AKA Advertising, a small New York shop dominated by the Foot Locker account, sources said.

“That’s not entirely true yet. The conversations are not complete. Call me next week,” said AKA co-founder Arie Kovant, declining further comment.

AKA was named Footlocker’s lead agency in June, 2001. The agency had handled client business on a project basis for the previous two years. AKA works for several divisons of the company, including Kids Foot Locker and Lady Foot Locker.
